We serve communities that are ready to bring their best assets into view, to build businesses, tourism and a healthy tax base for their towns. Disenfranchised or marginalized communities in particular need our attention. We are able to harness the unique characteristics of a community and combine that with the creativity and energy of its people to yield extraordinary results.
“Many towns are wallflowers in the era of digital tourism.
Now is the time to join the dance.”

The guide will broaden how to measure the success of urban streets to include: access, safety, mobility for all users, environmental quality, economic benefit, public health, and overall quality of life. The first-ever worldwide standards for designing city streets and prioritizing safety, pedestrians, transit, and sustainable mobility are presented in the guide.

Sharing Cities: A Case for Truly Smart and Sustainable Cities (Urban and Industrial Environments)
by Duncan McLaren and Julian Agyeman (Authors)
by Duncan McLaren and Julian Agyeman (Authors)
Summary: McLaren and Agyeman propose a new “sharing paradigm,” which goes beyond the faddish “sharing economy”—seen in such ventures as Uber and TaskRabbit—to envision models of sharing that are not always commercial but also communal, encouraging trust and collaboration. Detailed case studies of San Francisco, Seoul, Copenhagen, Medellín, Amsterdam, and Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore) contextualize the authors’ discussions of collaborative consumption and production; the shared public realm, both physical and virtual; the design of sharing to enhance equity and justice; and the prospects for scaling up the sharing paradigm though city governance.
